We do not have the ability to delete or copy items or events from the previous year. Each year we have to call support to get them to remove all items from the previous event.

Support from SchoolAuction team is always timely and helpful. Online ticket sales, mobile bidding and online checkout has made using this system so easy and made our events much easier.

The check in process was a nightmare - linking people to bid numbers and having enough bid paddles on site was frustrating.
